Day 5. Back from the Dead.

After the overwhelming response + crash we experienced last night, our website was up and running again in the morning thanks to the IT Whiz Kid... Nathan!

Some stats from Google Analytics:
Visits: 3,060
Pageviews: 5,635

In addition, we have finally made it to the top 250 list on Spread Firefox! Right now, we are #243 on the list, which is a phenomenal success considering the site has only been up for ~ 4 days!

We've also received amazing support from our visitors + other Firefox users. Check out some of the uber cool plugs that we have landed on several blogs/websites:

1) Metacool (Diego's blog)

"After just two weeks of work, CIA-KGB students launched their solutions to help Mozilla attract and retain users of Firefox. Actually, it wasn't really two weeks -- it was eight working days and four weekend days. As you'll see by clicking through on the URL's, below, each team of four students accomplished an incredible amount of work. When was the last time you went from zero knowledge in a subject area to putting something real and working in to the world in just two weeks? While working the equivalent of three or four other full-time jobs? I'm amazed."

2) Firefox Bolivia

Our Spanish friends dedicated a post to us, which thrilled us immensely! We even tried translating the text to figure out what they said!




3) Firefox Facts
Thanks to Mitch Keeler for blogging about us on his website! Mitch, you are the man! :)



4) Foxie Wire

The folks at Foxie Wire were kind enough to nominate us as a cool link, and we have thus far received 2 votes! ;)

5) Mozilla Links



"As you can see some of them appeal to a specific market segment while others (Everyday Hero and Got Your Back) appeal to a broader audience offering a medium for people to express themselves while introducing Firefox.
Good to see these new approaches and even better to be able to see their development."

4 days. 222 Spots Taken. 2862 Pageviews. And...

And the website crashes.
Yes sir, the logo can't take no more hits
It's gone in ghost mode!




Interestingly check out the screenshot below from our Google analytics. A truely international set of claimers of spots on the logo! WOW!
